36. Strive to be strong, not arrogant.

知道自家是何等身分，則不敢虛驕矣；想到他日是那樣下場，則可以發憤矣。

【今文解譯】

知道自己有怎樣的地位和能力，就不會盲目地自視太高。

想到如今的慵懶會造成將來的窮困潦倒，自當發奮努力。

【English Translation】

Knowing the status and ability you have on your part would help to warn you not to think too much of yourself.

Pondering the tragic ending you might have someday when you slack off would help to drive you to work harder.
